Readyboost seems to be missing on Windows 7 for me?

[froggyboy604]

I check the properties in my Flash drive and it is not there. I also checked services.msc and the readyboost service is gone.

Does anyone know how to fix this? It is not a major problem.

I ran SFC /scannow in command prompt and it said everything is fine.

I've never even heard of readyboost to be honest. Wish I could help.

Urm install it, I have W7 and can't find it, wish I could help out a little bit more, sorry.

I fixed it. ASC registry cleaner deleted some keys related to Windows Readyboost for Windows 7. I just use the built-in registry restore function with "Advance SystemCare". I think I won't use ASC registry cleaner from now on.

Good thing you fixed it. I was a little worried because I saw Readyboost on Windows 7 before.

So I have Ready Boost on my 64 bit Win7?

Is it the same as the ready boost on Vista?

 

[froggyboy604]

I heard the Readyboost in Windows 7 is a better version of Readyboost which is slightly faster then the version in Vista. But, Vista is slower then 7, so it could be the same.

The Vista and 7 readyboost both cache files on your Flash drive for faster access times.

However, RAM and the L1, L2, L3 Cache on your CPU are way faster,

Sounds neat, now I'll I have to do is find my flash drive 😛

 

[froggyboy604]

Make sure your flash drive is fast enough for Windows 7, and if it is not buy a flash drive base on its max read and write speed and not base on "Readyboost compatible" drive since some slower flash drives can be used as Readyboost drives, but Readyboost works best on "faster" flash drives which has a write and read speed which is 20 MBps - 30MBps I read online.

Ah, ok, yeah, cause I have a 512mb drive somewhere, just don't know its speed though?

Maybe I'll just pick another one up at walmart or something...
